Postponed

Covid 19 spreading, surges in case,

Exams approaching, in a few days. 

Pleas of parents, to do in online mode,

Fall on deaf ears - doesn't well bode.

Mails after mails, hoping for sanity to prevail,

School insisting on offline, so their schedule doesn't derail. 

The government issues directives, to close schools for some time,

The school postponing the 'offline' exams, without reason or rhyme. 

The ward is happy, that the exams got postponed,

The spouse is irked, one more week for ward to goad.

I am relieved, don't need to pick and drop this week,

Nobody cares for the students learning, or that corona is at peak.

We fought hard as a parent group, to expose the fallacy of an offline exam,

Postponed, in lieu of conducting online, a snub to us, can we still remain calm?
